Roge'a i really do not like the fact that animals are treated the way they are treated what if humans were in the shoes of animals and they treated us like we treat them... but not everyone thinks the way i think -roge'a 12/7/2009
Amy These facts have giving me alot of help on my presentation for animal cruelty,and i will be hopeing to read this out to the class,and tell them how these poor innocent animals had to suffer through such tragic events.So thankyou very much. 12/5/2009
AdaultJ why would people do this? people are sick minded if they do this stuff! we gotta put a stop to this! 12/3/2009
Drewba nuuhhh bro no one should do dat ayye lol For some reason, most people think that kicking a dog is okay if it is being bad, but laying a finger on a child is way over the line. I don't understand how this can be anyone's creed. Animals are living creatures, just like humans. Even lawmakers only give animal abusers a small fraction of the punishment that someone would get it they performed the same acts on a human being. We ourselves are animals, which many people tend to forget.
It is very hard to gather information to get statistics on animal abuse, because almost all animal abuse situations go unreported, can you believe that. Even though such a small percentage of people that see an animal being abused report it, 1880 cases were reported in the media in 2007. 64.5% of these cases were situations where a dog was being abused. The incidents ranged from neglecting to kicking, all the way up to burning the dogs, often because the dog was barking. I wonder why it was barking. Maybe because of the unsatisfactory living conditions that it has to live with every day.

I think it's disgusting to see what some people do to animals, some in anger, and some for fun. I have always been strongly against animal abuse, no matter what animal or human, it is aimed towards. If you're still saying who cares animals aren't people, and only people have feelings, understand this OK. Many murderers grew up as a child abusing and being around others who abused animals, most commonly their pets. It is an early sign that someone isn't headed in the right direction, so they should be stopped before they hurt or kill a human being.
Just think about it for a second, imagine you were the dog being abused wouldn’t you want the offender or offenders’ to serve a much more sever punishment like twice as long jail time and some work for the R.S.P.C.A or even work 10 hours of community service.
Maybe, just maybe the violent people who abuse or torture animals will reailse "huhh maybe I wont do that again

If you still think that animal abuse is okay, I don't know what will help you. And if you agree that animal abuse isn't okay, but don't think those who harm animals should be punished more severely, that's a whole different storey. You should treat all living things as you would treat your child, as they feel emotions in the exact same way. Animal abuse is NOT okay, and people who do the abusing should DEFENATLLY be punished MORE severely.

Skipper Animals should defend themselves...they have teeth don't they...? don't they...? 11/23/2009
Skipper Possibly, the worst case of animal cruelty in film is the movie, 'Cannibal Holocaust'. Though the movie waded in troubled waters ever since it was released, it was proven than at least six animals, a muskrat, a pig, a monkey, a snake, a turtle and a large spider were killed for the sake of the film. It has been said that the scene depicting the monkey had to shot twice, and therefore, two monkeys were sacrificed for movie realism 11/23/2009

Elani animal cruelty is harsh and none of these animals deserve to be abused and to have to be cruel to. What have they done to us, nothing they just want us to love them and to respect what they have done for us. So stop abusing animals because it is right. AND YOU KNOW IT ISN'T RIGHT 11/4/2009

Gemma Unforunatley,Society today will not allow us to stop animal cruetly. Besides, it's not all bad,because some neccessiary and life saving things can happen by animal testing. However, i do agree that comestics and unhelpful things should be banned for animal testing. Also,the animal should lead a normal life within alot of ground and only be coped up in experinet,when asleep. Thankyou 10/6/2009
